In 1859 an order was issued to have the gable ends of the meeting house secured; in 1875 a motion was made to employ a carpenter to superintend the shingling of the meeting house roof. The carefully preserved minute books continued until 1904.
“The congregation continued to be an active one until the church was closed in 1942, and except for a brief period in 1959, the church was unused until 1977 when it was restored and placed back in monthly service.”
Now, Rev. Gale Titchenell conducts morning services at Mt. Salem Meeting House on the first and third Sundays of every month. Titchenell is also president of the Mount Salem Restoration Association, a group that worked for more than two years to have the meeting house recognized as an historical building.
Prior to being included in the National Register, Mt. Salem was placed on the Virginia Landmarks Register by the Virginia Historical Landmark Commission.
